The actual number, however, may be 616, as some of the older copies of Revelation list it as that rather than 666. However, 666 is so much better known that if you try to go with 616 instead it will likely fly over the heads of the readers/viewers. Note that either way, it is the value six hundred and sixty six (/six hundred and sixteen), not just three sixes in a row (I'm looking at you, June 6th 2006). In fact, back then it would have been written DCLXVI (/DCXVI) χξϛ/χιϛ (chi - xi - sigma / chi - iota - sigma) in Greek and the guy who wrote Revelation would totally not get the stuff about three sixes in a row.

I was dissapointed by last two albums, so I kind of got a break from Maiden stuff... but their old stuff... because of your reminder I'm listening again to "Piece Of Mind" and "Powerslave" albums. And I rewatched "Life After Death" DVD.

Seriously, come on. Really, why would I possess a hamster of all things?They're small, it will be difficult to get to high places, the inability to lift heavy objects, and riding around in the cleavage of large bosom.....

Like I always said, they're small, sneaky and inconspicuous. The perfect host. Who would suspect little innocent looking animal like a hamster of being the Bringer of the End of All Things.

I genuinely admire how easy it is for British folks to simply dismiss religion as a silly little gimmick. Even in supernatural literature and art it remains only supernatural and never feels the need to become religious. That isn't quite so easy to do here in the United States. This is the most pathetically Christian fundamentalist country in the industrialized world. As a hardcore atheist I sometimes feel that I must have missed a boat at some point. The irony here is that America is supposed to be a totally secular nation. HAH! Secular, it ain't.
